Costner — who co-wrote, directed and stars inHorizon— told PEOPLE in November 2022 that his son, who was 13 at the time, is “very good” in the film.
“Hayesplays the namesake characterthat I actually play in the movie. He’s 13 years old and the screenplay’s been around longer than that,” said theDances with Wolvesactor, 69.
While acting certainly runs in the family, Costner — who also shares son Cayden, 16, and daughter Grace, 13, with ex-wifeChristine Baumgartner(Costner is also dad to daughters Annie and Lily, and sons Joe and Liam from previous relationships) — joked that casting his son also gave him an excuse to spend more time with Hayes.
“I kind of did it on purpose, so he could be hanging out with me,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “And the same thing for Cayden, same thing for Grace. I’m like any other parent, I’m trying to figure out, like, ‘This is really neat. You should come be with me.’ "
Per a synopsis,Horizon"explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won — and lost — through the blood, sweat and tears of many.”
